Ladder Polyether Synthesis via Epoxide-Opening Cascades Using a Disappearing Directing Group

The combination of a trimethylsilyl group, a Brønsted base, a fluoride source, and a hydroxylic solvent enables the first construction of the tetrad of tetrahydropyran rings found in the majority of the ladder polyether natural products by way of a cascade of epoxide-opening events that emulates the...
